I think it would be better if there were more than 5 xel naga temples. Muta harras while lings killing temples may be too powerful, and if you go kill lings then mutaling will either rape your small mnm army, and if you use all mnm then lings will just fall back and mutas goes and rapes your main base scvs.

Looks like tmech is the better way on this map.

Maybe add more temples or move ramp between main and nat?

edit: It's just what came into my mind, haven't played this map yet so I dont know for sure.
and btw, looks like really cool map tho.

You shoujld consider moving mineral line a few hexes from the ridge unless you want this to be a 2hatch muta > terran map. Close ridge is fine on maps like Medusa, HBR and Outsider where you can actually get up there relatively fast with your units. As it is now you have to have half your army up there until you get mass turrets.

muta harass would be so sick in this map...not to mention mass tank turtling since terran could get 3 gas 4 base by just defending one wee choke

seems really easy to take half the map, and then just play defensive

Nice work! It's really starting to look more balanced. Still a very linear middle, but I suppose it can't be helped with this type of map. Looks like drop/air harass will play a major role.

Edit 1: After some thinking, I have two points:

Is that main big enough? Sometimes main size can be deceptive, but I hate playing on maps where my main feels cluttered.

I would consider closing up the main choke a bit more. Could be quite a liability for T.

Edit 2: Eh, scratch that second point, it should be fine if it's easily wallable.

.... No freakin way Protoss will be able to beat Terran camping in the middle. Concept won't work. Scratch map, make a new one.

Well, you can't make a map good only with execution if the concept doesn't work at all. Might as well start a new map altogether than wasting time trying to balance a concept that doesn't make work.

To contrast this, I actually think the map looks rather balanced and the center is open and dynamic enough that camping there won't work. The center is wide enough that Protoss can break through one side and move around the center. Blue Storm is relatively balanced and the center favours defense much more than this map. Further, Arbiters look to be extremely powerful on this map.

Great map in my opinion.

On the contrary, the centre is tight. Using scmdraft to compare, Blue storm's centre is around 19 pylons wide. This centre is 9 pylons wide, the choke is about as tight as Destination's 3rd expo's choke (the third expo clockwise to the main) Taking half of the map then turreting and mining up will make arbiters less useful really.

Edit: I do praise Kona though for making the terrain show where to put buildings.
